FAQs for East Lavant
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Clean spills straight away
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
